With over a decade of experience in virtually every back-office role within the construction industry, I bring a wealth of knowledge and adaptability to the table. My career has spanned companies of varying sizes, from ambitious start-ups to firms with revenues up to $40 million. This diverse experience has granted me a deep understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities that arise at different stages of a company’s growth. One of my most significant takeaways from my career has been the importance of change management. Navigating through different phases of company development has highlighted how crucial it is for businesses to adapt and evolve to grow, or even sustain their success. Currently, my goal is to support Hawaii’s entrepreneurs by providing the tools and expertise they need to either launch their startups successfully or scale their business. I am passionate about helping local businesses thrive because I believe in the power of a strong entrepreneurial community to drive economic growth and sustainability in our islands. I am also deeply committed to contributing to Hawaii’s self-sufficiency. By keeping jobs within our local economy and supporting Hawaii-based entrepreneurs, I aim to help create a more resilient and self-sustaining community. I want to empower business owners to focus on what they do best—running their operations—while I provide the behind-the-scenes support that makes their success possible.
